Abstract

General Background: Body mass index and waist circumference are widely used anthropometric indicators to describe nutritional status and body fat distribution related to cardiovascular risk, including blood pressure changes in young adults. Specific Background: Medical students, particularly those in early academic years, are generally perceived as healthy but may experience overweight or obesity during their study period, which warrants early observation of blood pressure patterns. Knowledge Gap: Empirical evidence focusing on the relationship between body mass index, waist circumference, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure among early-year medical students remains limited and inconsistent. Aims: This study aimed to examine the relationship between body mass index and waist circumference with systolic and diastolic blood pressure among medical students of Wijaya Kusuma University Surabaya, class of 2024. Results: Based on an observational cross-sectional design involving 95 students, Pearson correlation analysis demonstrated no significant relationship between body mass index or waist circumference and systolic or diastolic blood pressure (p > 0.05). However, chi-square analysis identified a significant association between body mass index and systolic blood pressure, as well as between waist circumference and systolic blood pressure. Novelty: This study provides specific evidence from an early-year medical student population showing that anthropometric indicators are not consistently associated with blood pressure despite a substantial proportion of overweight and obesity. Implications: The findings emphasize the importance of early anthropometric screening and preventive strategies in medical students to address potential cardiovascular risk factors before clinical manifestations emerge. Highlights • Anthropometric indicators showed no consistent correlation with systolic and diastolic blood pressure• Overweight and obesity were prevalent among early-year medical students• Significant associations appeared only in categorical systolic blood pressure analysis Keywords Body Mass Index; Waist Circumference; Blood Pressure; Medical Students; Anthropometric Indicators

Abstract

General Background: Indonesia’s health legal system has introduced a dedicated professional discipline mechanism through the Majelis Disiplin Profesi (MDP) under Law Number 17 of 2023 on Health. Specific Background: Articles 304–309 position MDP as the initial forum to examine alleged breaches of medical and health professional discipline prior to criminal investigation, reflecting a quasi-judicial role within health governance. Knowledge Gap: The statutory design raises unresolved concerns regarding guarantees of institutional autonomy and protection from executive intervention, despite the direct significance of MDP recommendations for subsequent criminal and civil processes. Aims: This study articulates the urgency of structural independence for MDP by mapping its juridical position, independence dimensions (institutional, functional, and administrative), and normative risks within the lex specialis framework for medical disputes. Results: The analysis identifies that insufficient independence may generate legal uncertainty, weaken objectivity of recommendations, and risk constraining constitutional access to justice, including tensions with equality before the law, while also creating overlap risks with the general judiciary if recommendations are treated as an absolute procedural prerequisite. Novelty: The article synthesizes MDP’s quasi-judicial character with a three-dimensional independence model to assess the feasibility of lex specialis discipline mechanisms under the 2023 Health Law. Implications: Strengthening MDP’s institutional design and ensuring transparent examination procedures are positioned as priority measures to sustain professional accountability, balanced protection for patients and health workers, and public trust in disciplinary adjudication. Highlights: The disciplinary mechanism is placed as the initial examination stage before investigative procedures begin. Autonomy deficits are linked to risks of non-objective recommendations and constrained access to justice. Treating council recommendations as an absolute procedural gate may create overlap with general adjudication.

Abstract

General Background: Regional elections as a manifestation of popular sovereignty require credible oversight mechanisms to safeguard democratic procedures at the local level. Specific Background: In Indonesia, the Elections Supervisory Agency plays a strategic role in supervising electoral stages, particularly in regions with geographical constraints and distinct socio-political characteristics such as border and peripheral areas. Knowledge Gap: Existing studies predominantly emphasize national or urban electoral contexts, leaving limited scholarly attention to supervisory practices in peripheral regions with restricted infrastructure and strong patron–client relations. Aims: This study examines how electoral oversight was conducted by the Malinau Regency Elections Supervisory Agency during the 2024 local election and identifies contextual factors shaping supervisory practices in a peripheral setting. Results: The findings indicate that oversight activities were carried out across all electoral stages through participatory supervision, early identification of administrative violations, media monitoring, and the use of simple information technologies. However, supervisory practices were constrained by limited human resources and budget, uneven geographical access, weak inter-institutional coordination, low public legal awareness, and challenges related to civil servant neutrality. Novelty: This study integrates geographical border conditions, local socio-political relations, and institutional capacity limitations into the analysis of electoral oversight, extending prevailing theoretical discussions that are largely urban-oriented. Implications: The results suggest that electoral oversight in peripheral regions requires adaptive and context-sensitive strategies that align regulatory frameworks with local institutional capacity and community participation to support procedural compliance and democratic integrity. Highlights • Electoral oversight in Malinau was conducted across all Pilkada stages through participatory and media-based monitoring• Geographic constraints and limited institutional resources shaped supervisory practices in border areas• Local socio-political relations influenced community participation in reporting electoral violations Keywords Electoral Oversight; Bawaslu Supervision; Local Democracy; Peripheral Regions; Malinau Regency

Abstract

General Background: Islamic intellectual history in the Nusantara has developed through transregional scholarly networks linking local communities with global centers of learning, especially the Haramain. Specific Background: Shaykh Yasin Al-Fadani, a Minangkabau-born scholar based in Mecca and known as Musnid ad-Dunya, held a central role in hadith transmission and Islamic astronomy, connecting the Haramain and the Nusantara through his works and students. Knowledge Gap: While prior studies address his hadith and astronomical contributions, limited analysis applies Karl Mannheim’s sociology of knowledge to explain his role in Nusantara intellectual dynamics. Aims: This study investigates how his social position, intellectual networks, and writings sustained Islamic scholarly continuity between the two regions. Results: Through qualitative case study and content analysis, the findings show that he preserved sanad authority, established extensive teacher–student networks, and authored key works such as Al-Fawaid Al-Janiyyah and Al-Mukhtasar Al-Muhazzab, which remain central in pesantren education and responsive to colonial and modern contexts. Novelty: By employing Mannheim’s framework, this research situates his scholarship within its socio-historical setting and transregional interactions. Implications: The study clarifies Nusantara–Haramain scholarly connectivity and reaffirms the ongoing relevance of sanad-based learning in contemporary Islamic education. Highlights: A transregional teacher–student lineage linked Mecca with pesantren communities across Java, Sumatra, and Kalimantan. Sanad-centered scholarship functioned as a mechanism for preserving religious authority during colonial and modern transitions. Major writings on hadith and Islamic astronomy addressed both doctrinal continuity and practical communal needs.
